And drove Into town
In a jolly jog trot.
As the old farmer
Went Jogging along
He sang to himself
A nice little song.

As I've heard said,
'I'll buy her a gown
OF bright blue or red"
As he continued
To sing his old sonnet
He said to himself.
''Ill buy her a bonnet"
SO the old farmer
Drove slowly up street,
Bowling and smiling
To the friends he would meet.
Up to the store
lie drove his old mare,
Getting out quickly.
He h!tclled her with care.
Then into the store
With light heart he stepped,
To see where the dresses
And bOnnets were kept.
After some time was spent
In looking around
The old man proceeded
To purchase the gown.
The next thing he bought
Was u very fine bonnet;
1t was made of black velvet,
With a feather upon 1t.
Then the old man
Proceeded to choose
A warm pair of gloves
And Il new pair of shoes.
Then all together
His bundles he got
And started off home
In very brisk trOt.
When he reached home
His old mare he fed.
And put her away
In II nice warm Sned.
Then into the house
lie went with bound,
To show his wife. Betsy,
Her new satin gown.
When the old farmer
Came into the room
He said wife have you heard
Of what they now call the b0om?"
"They say our Old farm
Is worth a big price
And so concluded
To buy something nice"
Said she Farmer Johnson"
As her eyes rested on 1t,
"Such a beautiful dress.
Such a love of a bOnnetv'
Said he. my dear Betsy.
Pm sure It's your due.
II gave Inc great pleasure
To buy them for YOU"
Now all you good farmers,

Do like farmer Johnson
And your wives you will please.

Industrial Uses OF Oil of Birch.

A Belgian inventor has devised a
process for tanning textile fabrics
which renders them waterproof and at
the same time, it is said, proof against
decay, while their suppleness is not di-
mlnished and their weight not appre-
ciably Increased. Arguing from the
high state of preservation in which the
bands which surround the heads of
Egyptian mummies are found to this
day, and which are impregnated with
kind Of resin, the inventor had re-
course to the substances extracted
from the birch bark, and which are
now used to perfume Russia leather.
When the fine white bark of the
birch tree is distilled it yields a light
oil, nearly fourth part Of which con-
sists OF the special phenol, or carbolic
acid, which gives the well known odor
to Russia leather. 1t is now found
that the residue, or green tar, of the
birch, which is obtained from Kos
troma, yields neither acid or alkaloid,
and forms, with alcohol, a solution Of
great fiuiditF, which, however, when
once dried, is not acted upon by al-
cohol. 1t Is this substance which will
unite with the most brilliant coIors
that are used by the inventor for treat
ing textile fabrics.
